Islamabad, May 31, 2025 – The blazing summer heat continues to grip Sindh as residents face unrelenting high temperatures with no immediate relief forecast. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned of persistently hot and dry summer conditions across most districts of Sindh, including major urban centers like Karachi, in the coming days.
For Saturday, May 31, the PMD predicts extremely hot and dry summer weather for most parts of the province. However, isolated rain or thunderstorms may provide temporary relief in areas such as Khairpur, Sukkur, Dadu, and Naushahro Feroze. Despite this, the overall weather outlook remains oppressive for much of Sindh.
On Sunday, June 1, the scorching summer trend is expected to continue, with temperatures remaining uncomfortably high. Karachi and other southern parts of Sindh are likely to face harsh weather conditions, raising concerns for heat-related health issues, especially for vulnerable populations.
The ongoing summer heatwave is driven by a prevailing westerly wave impacting the upper regions of Pakistan, which is expected to persist over the next 24 to 36 hours. This system has triggered thunderstorms and rain in northern areas, but has done little to alleviate the heat in Sindh.
While some regions in the north and upper parts of the country — including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, and Kashmir — may experience rain, windstorms, and even hailstorms, Sindh remains largely dry and blistering. According to the PMD, the heat in the plains has intensified, with temperatures in cities such as Mohenjodaro, Dadu, Jacobabad, and Shaheed Benazirabad soaring up to 48°C.
In the past 24 hours, rainfall was recorded in several areas of northern Pakistan, but none in Sindh, underlining the extreme weather imbalance currently affecting the country.
Authorities advise residents across Sindh to remain indoors during peak afternoon hours, stay hydrated, and take all necessary precautions to guard against heatstroke during this ongoing summer heatwave. With the current forecast showing little change, the people of Sindh must brace for a continued period of intense summer heat in the days ahead.
